Thesis Casting is one of the earliest metal-shaping methods known to human being. It generally means pouring molten metal into a refractory mould with a cavity of the shape to be made, and allowing it to solidify. When solidified , the desired metal object is taken out from the refractory mould either by breaking the mould or by taking mould apart. This process is also called founding. A pattern is a replica of the object to be made by the casting process, with some modifications. The main modifications are addition of pattern allowances like shrinkage allowance, machining allowance, draft allowance etc. , the provision of core prints and elimination of fine details. Loose piece pattern is used when the contour of the part is such that withdrawing the pattern from the mould is not possible. Hence during moulding, the obstructing part of the contour is held as a loos piece by a wire. After moulding is over, first the main pattern is removed and then the loose pieces are recovered through the gap generated by the main pattern. A safety valve which is generally manufactured by complex forging method , can be easily manufactured by sand casting method which is more economical the forging method. In the sand casting method, the two wedge shaped portions of the safety valve create problem during removal of pattern, so these two portions are taken as loose pieces and held as loose pieces by a wire or pin. Once the main pattern body is removed, these loose pieces are recovered through the space vacated by main pattern body. So this project work deals with manufacturing of safety valve using sand casting with split pattern which consists of multi loose pieces (combined loose piece).

INTRODUCTION B.Tech Thesis In metallurgy, casting is to pour molten metal into a mold , which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape , and then allowing it to cool and solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting , which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process . Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods. Casting processes have been known for thousands of years , and widely used for sculpture , especially in bronze, precious metal jewelry , and weapons and tools. Traditional techniques include lost wax casting , plaster mold casting and sand casting . The modern foundry process is divided into two main categories: expendable cast and expendable . Is divided by the mold material , such as sand or metal , and the method of deposition , such as gravity, low pressure or vacuum . 1.1 .Different type of Castings and its process Today Castings is used to create the desired and solid shape. Foundry industries to help them grow. There are different types of castings and lost wax process and die casting, sand casting. Castings are the type of manufacturing process. Lost wax Castings This is the oldest metal forming or casting process. Lost Wax Casting is used for the manufacture of large parts such as the wheels of the turbocharger, golf clubs, choosing a variety of pieces ranging from turbocharger wheels golf clubs, electronic implants replacement boxes hip. Lost wax casting racks used for investment. Today investment racks are used for aircraft engine and airframe parts. Castings lost wax is similar to Lost Foam Casting patterns that are uses disposable foam casting productions. Foam pattern remains in the mold during casting of metal and is replaced by molten metal.

Its a type of process in which the molten metal is forced under high pressure into the mold cavities. In the casting mold die is used again and again to produce a variety of casting size, shape and thickness. The pieces, which are manufacture by casting are the heat resistance and maintain tight tolerances. Casting produces parts with thinner walls, closer dimensional limits and smoother surfaces.

Using the sand casting method, you can convert large iron bell, and alos small auto parts. In sand casting, two types of green sand used as the sand, which is a mixture of silica and olivine foundry sand.Sand used for high volume production.
